Popis: The microstructure of silicon carbide fabricated from the gas-phase-based, laser-driven selective area laser deposition (SALD) process has been characterized by X-ray diffraction and solid-state 29Si NMR techniques with magic angle spinning (MAS). X-ray patterns reveal the characteristic spectrum of pure s, cubic silicon carbide polytype while NMR shows a s-SiC pattern with additional peaks. To determine the source of the extra peaks, a comparative evaluation of commercially available silicon carbide powders, both alpha- and s-SiC, was undertaken with NMR. Spin-lattice relaxation time measurements (T1) were also carried out to determine the polytype morphology of the SALD deposit. The results showed an NMR spectrum that appears to be a combination of alpha and s polytypes. Microtwinning is advanced as a possible explanation for this phenomenon.
